Getting You Caught Up

Hi all. I know it has been a long time since my last post. It seems like I just run out of time to do anything lately.

Work has been crazy busy. I am gearing up for our next software release on 8/20. It is a huge one. We are doing a total overhaul of one portion and testing is going to be a nightmare. The developers turned over some of the enhancements to us earlier this week so we can start testing. Since our of our teammates left a few weeks ago, I have been doing most of her stuff as well. My boss and I have been interviewing for the open spot on our team. I was very flattered that she asked me to sit in on the interviews. We had two people to interview so far. One who I have worked with in the past and is now is a job that he hates and is bored so his work not the best. He is a very technical person but lacks in the soft skills portion a bit. The other person has no technical skills but is very detailed and customer service orientated. It is hard to decide which one to choose. I wish we had another open FTE spot so that we could take both of them.

Boomer has been getting better each day. Yesterday the guy who is dog sitting for us when we are on vacation came over to 'meet' Boomer. The last time he dog sat for us, Rufus and Riley were just puppies (6-8 months old) and gave E a rough time. They had chewed up a piece of the carpeting. E felt sooo bad about it but it was the first or last time that had happened. Now they have grown up and are lazy dogs.

Big Brother All-Stars and RockStar: SuperNova are on. Most of you know that I am a reality show junkie. Beside, what else is there to watch on tv this time of year. I love Big Brother and hope that Janelle and Kaysar go far. I liked them from the previous season. Danielle started shit already the moment she walked in the door. Her and Allison need to go. I like Allison when she was on but she is out for blood this time.

RockStar:SuperNova has a guy from Guns 'n Roses, Tommy Lee of Motely Crue and Jason Newstad from Metallica. Last week, the guys were really soft on the singers. This week, they were out for blood. A couple of the girls really are bad and I can't believe that they did not get rid of Zaida this week. She has an attitude and sucks.

We went to Summerfest a few weeks ago. it was a fun time, except for the fact I was drunk by 6pm. Hubby was beating that I would not make 8pm. We got there about 4 and it was the 2 vodka lemonades at Big Momma's that killed me. They were way to strong. But yummy. I was kinda bummed that I did not get the chance to see David Lee Roth. StB gave him a good review.

Hubby and I are heading out of town for a few days. My family reunion is in Appleton this year. It should be fun to see everyone again. I am looking forward to hanging out around the pool afterwards than the actual reunion. I have stocked up on the wine. Should make for a fun time. Then on Sunday, we are heading up to Keshena for some gambling. It is a great little casino. It is about an hour outside of Gren Bay. If you are even in the area, stop in. We are going to play in a poker tourney and eat breakfast at this awesome little place called 'Farmin' on Main'. They have the cutest waitresses. They are all about 17 and are what you would call All American farm girls. I may even have something with man gravy on it... hehehe

Yesterday, on 'KLH, Dave and Carole were talking about an obituary of a guy from Richmond, VA. It is too funny. Click on the link to read it. I love the fact that he excelled at mediocrity and his life long loves were butter, bacon, cigars and bourbon. When I die, I want someone to write a witty obit like this for me. If you are to lazy to read it you can also listen to it here.

Earlier this week, I found out that one of my old bosses from when I first started at the help desk, killed himself last week. He did it by starting himself on fire. How horrific is that! What is really odd is that he was one of three people to do that (starting themselves on fire) in less than a week. He was a nice guy and he ended up getting fired for something that someone else did but he never did anything to prevent it so as the manager, he got canned as well. No fair but the right thing to do. That was 3-4 years ago.

Well, I think I have run out of things to say. Have a good week everyone and I will try to post more often. I know I have been a slacker.

ZOBMONDO!!

Would you rather....

As a man have your testicles eaten off by a squirrel

----OR----

your eyeballs pecked out by a bird??

Since I am a girl and don't have testicles, I really don't care which one happens. I had the laser eye surgery a few years ago so I would go with protecting the eyes.
